Flower clusters are intensely fragrant with dark pink and ivory individual blooms opening in sequence. Blooms from mid June to frost. Faint fuzz covers new growth. Nice dark pink colour on new woody tips. Drought tolerant when established. Semi evergreen in sunny sheltered spot. Easy to care for vine as I’ve never had to do anything with this plant other than put it in the ground and train it along the chain link fence growing 6 meters in all directions.
